Synopsis
Once again, Ivan Doig returns to rural Montana, the land of his youth, for this rich and quietly compelling novel. Paul Milliron, the state superintendent of schools, reminisces about 1909 and his childhood in a one-room schoolhouse. His father, a widowed farmer, and father of three boys, hires an unconventional and perpetually-whistling housekeeper, Rose Llewellyn, to tend to the house and children. In her tow comes her brother, Morris Morgan, a bookworm with a secret past who, when the school teacher elopes with a traveling preacher, takes charge of the local schoolhouse. These two extraordinary characters, along with a massive irrigation project, transform the small Montana town in ways both minor and profound. Doig writes with a simple lyricism, a plain-speaking beauty that never lapses into sentimentality.

Publisher's Note
Hired as a housekeeper to work on the early 1900s Montana homestead of widower Oliver Milliron, the irreverent and perpetually whistling Rose and her font-of-knowledge brother, Morris, endeavor to educate the widower's reluctant sons while witnessing local efforts on a massive irrigation project. Reader's Guide available. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"[T]he sheer joy of word choices, phrases, sentences, situations, and character bubbling up and out, [is] as fecund and nurturing as the dryland farmscape the story inhabits is sere and arid. THE WHISTLING SEASON is a book to pass on to your favorite readers."
